I have been reading alot of stuff here lately and just realized how crazy we are and all this fearmongering over nicotine. Are most people aware of this:
I just find it kind of funny that I see people posting about being worried about handling nicotine when more then likely if someone looked in there house we would see stuff that is equally or more dangerous then nicotine being improperly handled.
I think something to consider with nicotine would be similar to caffeine. Yes caffeine in large doses can kill you!
Do we lock up our can of coffee so our kids can't get it?
Be safe and use good common sense! I think nicotine can be handled in a safe manner! Think about it you use equally deadly of items on a daily basis!
Have a nice day
It appears we are more overly protective of nicotine then something commonly sold at any drugstore, gas station, and supermarket. I am willing to bet that the bottle of Tylenol is more available to your dog or kid then the nicotine you have locked up in your gun safe.Acetaminophen (Tylenol) overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. People often think that acetaminophen, a pain-relieving medicine, is extremely safe. However, it may be deadly if taken in large doses. However, without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days.

Caffeine overdose
Caffeine is a substance that exists naturally in certain plants. It can also be produced synthetically and used as an additive in food products. It is a central nervous system stimulant and a diuretic, which means it increases urination.
Caffeine overdose occurs when someone accidentally or intentionally takes more than the normal or recommended amount of this medication. In severe cases, death may result from convulsions or an irregular heartbeat.
